Sensenbrenner Says Bush "Turned His Back" on House Immigration Bill

The AP Reported today that:

WASHINGTON - Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, who has pushed a tough border security bill through the House, accusedPresident Bush on Wednesday of abandoning the legislation after asking for many of its provisions.

"He basically turned his back on provisions of the House-passed bill, a lot of which we were requested to put in the bill by the White House," Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., angrily told reporters in a conference call. "That was last fall when we were drafting the bill, and now the president appears not to be interested in it at all."
